Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Highlights
“Our son used APS services during his house refurbishment last year and we were very impressed with the high quality of the workmanship. So we asked him to design some bespoke built in wardrobes for us. Adrian kept in contact to ensure we were happy with the design and build which was really helpful. During installation we were very impressed with Adrian’s attention to detail. He is a perfectionist – we can’t imagine him saying “that will do” as he wants everything to be just so, and we are very impressed with his work ethic.”
“APS Carpentry deserves every 5-star review they receive. Adrian is a fantastic leader—calm, honest, and transparent—and his team is professional, hardworking, polite and clean. Their expertise is second to none; they fixed our badly squeaky staircase, a job other carpenters couldn't guarantee, and it is now completely noiseless. They also installed beautiful glass panels, new doors, skirting, and a TV unit, all done with great precision and care. Excellent communication throughout. I wholeheartedly recommend Adrian and the APS team for any job.”

This trade isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up. TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home - check whether they're registered, or find a TrustMark-registered business.
Check the TrustMark registerNever pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
